PCG Implements Kadiwa Operation in Bajo de Masinloc and Offers Assistance to CCG Following Maritime Incident
In response to the presence of around 35 Filipino fishing vessels in Bajo de Masinloc, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) deployed the BRP Teresa Magbanua and BRP Suluan, along with MV Pamamalakaya, early this morning to carry out the โKadiwa Para sa Bagong Bayaning Mangingisda (KBBM)โ initiative.
During the operation, Philippine vessels and fishermen encountered hazardous maneuvers and blocking actions from other vessels in the vicinity. In particular, the MRRV 4406 was targeted with a water cannon, but the seamanship skills by PCG crew members allowed the vessel to successfully evade from getting hit.
In a related incident, a collision took place between China Coast Guard (CCG) vessel 3104 and People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA Navy) ship 164, approximately 10.5 nautical miles east of Bajo de Masinloc. The CCG 3104, which was chasing the BRP Suluan at high speed, performed a risky maneuver from the PCG vessel's starboard quarter, leading to the impact with the PLA Navy warship. This resulted in substantial damage to the CCG vessel's forecastle, rendering it unseaworthy.
Following the collision, the PCG immediately offered support, including assistance with man-overboard recovery and medical aid for any injured CCG crew members. Meanwhile, the MRRV 9701 safely escorted the Filipino fishermen to a secure location, where they are now being provided with essential fuel and supplies.
The Philippine Coast Guard reaffirms its dedication to safeguarding all maritime operations in the area and wishes for the swift recovery and proper treatment of any affected CCG personnel.
P.S. cancel agad? Bakit? Sofitel lang ba ang maaring maging venue ng mga debates at wala ng available na alternative na venue sa buong Pilipinas? Lousy script Comelec.
Sabi ko kay Manang, alam mo ba na sa ibang bansa like the US, libre school bus, pati lunch nila free, school supplies lahat free. Kung hindi ninakaw ng mga Marcos ang bilyon2 na pera natin, baka nakapag aral ka ng free natapos mo sana high school.
@rowena_guanzon@COMELEC Kasama po ba dyan yung DUMPER party list ng anak-mayaman na nag-aral sa ibang bansa na nagpakasal sa Balesin na ang nire-represent ay ang mga PUV drivers at commuters na hanggang ngayon ay patuloy na naghihirap sa pamamasada at pagpila sa transportasyon?
